I know the feeling. I'll be limited to an 8.50, so I'll leave the nitrous converter in, and the high rear gear, and just kill it on the line. My car is 3440 pounds with me in it, and it just never 60's in line with the 1/4 times. I may put a shorter tire on it and see what happens, but I'm sure no matter what tech will draw the line at 8.50. I agree about the picture though, that'll be a nice'n!
